The ability to produce active and passive reversible and non-reversible sentences was examined when varying amounts of lexical information was provided. The results showed that both Wernicke'...

The voice category, being one of the main verbal categories in a language, is traditionally considered to be discrete.

In addition to the passive voice, traditionally described as diathesis, we briefly describe other kinds of proposed diathese...

When learning novel words from the two informants, children were more...
